KRUPS BW500 1.8 quart Electric Kettle, Stainless Steel

 (27 customer reviews)

FORM: Snazzy, sleek, modern, industrial-style. Surprisingly, the beautiful brushed stainless steel is not a magnet for fingerprints.

FUNCTION: Quick and efficient.

OF NOTE: Perhaps a negative to some, this kettle is on the heavy side (the upside of which is its sturdiness).

For optimal use of the removable filter when filling the kettle and subsequently pouring the boiled water, Krups instructs the user to fill directly into the spout. I prefer to fill through the wider opening in the top of the kettle because there is less spillage. Since I use filtered water to begin with, this is not an issue to me.

I like this product very much. The only drawback I've noticed is a big noise when it comes to the boiling point.
Other then that it's on of the best on the market. Practically no smell, no plastic parts inside.

We purchased this kettle to replace two failed Capresso programmable kettles (the lids fell off both among other faults). It was immediately apparent that this product is well made and the first impressions have proved to be correct. The kettle boils water fast and switches off very quickly once it boils.It also looks good so what more could one ask for?
No negative points yet and dont expect any as this is a real quality product.

update It is now April 2012. The kettle has been used 3 to 4 times a day every day since we had it. Still proving to be a great product
